Paris Hi Fi shops

When you arrive buy a magazine called Revue du Son. The back of the mag has a kind of classifieds section organized by location (Paris, Lyon, etc.). Many shops advertise in this section and include details as to components they carry, as well as their location and telephone number.

Beware of a place called Magma. They advertise heavily and carry lost of equipment but are @$$#0!e$.

Please tell me anywhere in Paris that isint...@$$#)!e$

If you buy anything, make sure that you fill in the 'export' form. This way you will get the VAT back (I think 18%).

Thanks for the tips!

If you want to be treated well in Paris, wear jeans and carry a backpack. The rational frenchman is supposed to be a little carzy when young, to get it out of his system and, consequently, the French are quite indulgent toward their youth. Correctly camouflaged, you can watch your hosts practice their favorite contact sport, being rude to affluent looking Americans. There used to be a good Vietnamese restaurant on the square directly across from the main gate of the Sorbonne; let us know if they still brew the tea with hashish.
